Chapter 41: Who's First and Who Comes Last
Yuan Jinyu took a sip of chrysanthemum tea lightly, her lips had a hint of water, and after gently wiping it off with a handkerchief, she looked up and saw that several female relatives around her were fighting for a little red face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is said that they are all daughters of the family, and they pay the most attention to their appearance, and they will never do anything to compete with others outside. However, one is for the color of today's King of Chu, and the other is for the King of Chu.
In their hearts, if they can become the princess of Chu, they will have a connection with the prince's faction, and after the prince succeeds in ascending the throne, their identities will also be able to rise. Moreover, the king of Chu is the person who wants to marry the most in the hearts of the women to be married in the capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the lover of his dreams, how can they let go of such a good opportunity?
Yuan Xiuyu watched several concubines fight over on the side, the feelings in her heart were really complicated, the King of Chu looked dignified, not lost to King Rui, and just looked at her with such gentle eyes, she was a fourteen-year-old girl, and there were still ripples in her heart.
But on the one hand, she still thinks about King Rui in her heart, on the other hand, she holds the identity of the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she can't fight with others, and she is reluctant to give up the King of Chu like this, so don't mention how irritable she is, and the Jinpa is crumpled by her.
Yuan Jinyu didn't have any intention of fighting. King Chu's mind couldn't be clearer, after all, he is a prince in a high position, and the man's side, whether it is true or false, will give him this first, and the first on the woman's side, under the arrangement of the King of Chu, must be Yuan Xiuyu.
So I can't take the first place, and I can't get the lottery, why do I want to compete for the top? Do these ladies think that if they win the first place, they can really have the last laugh?
And the people here, maybe only Yuan Jinyu saw King Chu's mind clearly, and was leisurely, watching Sister Yan struggling over there whether to make a move, and secretly felt funny.
No matter how you fight, someone will win in the end, and the first one to perform is the daughter of the Gangneung salt transport envoy. In terms of appearance and temperament, the girl was all superior, and she sang a very beautiful tune, and she was amazed when she appeared.
Yuan Jinyu listened to the song, his eyes lowered slightly, and he looked at the sons present, Mu Ze still drank lightly, although Rong Chen seemed to be watching, but his mind was not here, Mu Zhao was sitting on the chair, slightly disdainful, obviously feeling that this performance was too usual.
Yuan Jinyu thinks that the woman sings well, at least in the eyes of the people, Mu Zhao has been raised in the deep palace since he was a child, and he has been favored by his mother and father, so he has naturally seen a lot of good things, and now he feels that it is boring, and it is understandable.
And the performance that Yuan Jinyu admired the most was really the King of Chu. She couldn't see what was going on in his mind, but she found that he had listened carefully throughout, and that he had applauded the young lady very sincerely at the end.
However, his demeanor is moderate, which makes people seem to only feel clear and clear, without half ambiguity.
Even so, the young lady blushed slightly and sat down.
The opening won a full house, how dare the remaining ladies show weakness, they all showed their own housekeeping skills, the whole chrysanthemum appreciation conference, because of the performance of these ladies, it seems wonderful.
Since Yuan Jinyu has been here a few times, these ladies must have to take a closer look, at least, watching them perform is very pleasing to the eye.
In fact, throughout the performance, Yuan Jinyu felt that she looked at others in a low-key manner, so no one looked at herself, but in fact, it was not.
First of all, King Ning came because of Yuan Jinyu, from beginning to end, he didn't have the heart to watch others perform, and when he was alone, his eyes always lingered on Yuan Jinyu's body.
He always felt that Yuan Jinyu looked particularly pleasing to the eye, which made him, who had never paid attention to women's appearance, a little more thoughtful;
And Mu Zhao is waiting for when he will have the opportunity to take revenge because he has been married to Yuan Jinyu, and now that the enemy sees each other, he is naturally very red-eyed, so he has been staring at Yuan Jinyu, just to see what she will show for a while, presumably it is also singing and dancing, and then he will laugh at her well;
Rong Chen observed Yuan Jinyu, purely because of the thousand-year-old ice around him, it was really strange that Mu Ze would look at a woman with such soft eyes, so he looked at Yuan Jinyu's gaze, and he also had a bit of fun;
As for King Chu, he really thinks Yuan Jinyu is special. Other young ladies, when they saw themselves coming to the banquet, even if they were indifferent on the surface, they were excited and happy in their hearts, and they worked very hard when they performed, and even fought a few words before and after.
Only she, dressed in pale pink clothes, sat among the flowers, her face was bright and clear, and she ate a bite of pastries from time to time, or she took a sip of flower tea, but she really came to enjoy it. Especially when she touches the taste she likes to eat, her happy eyebrows and eyes will squint slightly, after King Chu saw it, he couldn't help but feel like he was scratched by a cat.
Finally, only Yuan Jinyu and Yuan Xiuyu were left in the audience.
Yuan Xiuyu thought that since she couldn't be the first, it must be good to be the last, so that in the heart of King Chu, she could also leave a deeper impression.
And Yuan Jinyu has always been a straw bag lady, except for that peerless face, she is useless. Just let her perform first, so that she can dominate the audience for a while, and she can step on this sister-in-law.
The women are sensitive and suspicious, and when the King of Chu first came to the banquet, his eyes were obviously on Yuan Jinyu's body, and Yuan Xiuyu was sure that he was not mistaken. And so many female dependents have performed talents, and the King of Chu has always been polite and moderate, but his eyes are always lingering on Yuan Jinyu's body, which makes her really unhappy.
At this time, looking at the two of them who did not perform, Yuan Xiuyu thought to herself, after you make a fool of yourself in front of the King of Chu for a while, how can you use this face to seduce people, on the one hand, she smiled gently and generously, and said with Yuan Jinyu: "Now that you and I are the only ones left who have not performed, my sister will come first, how about it?" ”
In the eyes of outsiders, such a move is different from the women who are scrambling to perform just now, and it is even more gentle and generous, but how could Yuan Jinyu not know what her sister is thinking.
On the one hand, she was worried about King Rui, and on the other hand, she was taken away by King Chu with a look, and now she is still thinking about belittleing herself, which is really something she can do.
Mu Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard that Yuan Jinyu was going to perform, but the mean words blurted out: "Who in the capital doesn't know that Miss Xiangfushu has an empty appearance, and now let her perform, isn't it clear that she wants her to make a fool of herself?" If you want this prince to come to her, you will be exempted from this round, and you will not have to embarrass Xiangye. ”
As soon as Yuan Xiuyu saw someone belittleing Yuan Jinyu, she couldn't help but move, but on the surface, she still maintained Yuan Jinyu: "Jinyu has always worked hard at home, presumably the eleventh prince is biased, it is better to let Jinyu perform, how about the eleventh prince again?" ”
Mu Zhao glanced at Yuan Xiuyu, although he didn't like her much, but the person who was standing in the same boat as him, he would not push her into the water. So at this time, he leaned back on the chair and said to Yuan Jinyu with a little impatience: "Since Miss Xiangfu said so, then this prince wants to see what you are capable of as a concubine, come and perform." ”
Yuan Jinyu watched the two of them sing and harmonize, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.
King Chu frowned at this time, but he came for Yuan Xiuyu this time, so naturally he couldn't speak to Yuan Jinyu.
King Ning was about to stand up and stand up for Yuan Jinyu, but was dragged by Rong Chen: "You listen to what Yuan Jinyu has to say first." ”
Will Yuan Jinyu let others come out? Of course not. Just pretended to be low, just to let Mu Zhao no longer embarrass herself, she lived a new life, learned a lot of lessons, and knew that everything has to be done by herself.
The backers will fall, everyone will run, and only if you are strong can you be invincible.
Yuan Jinyu stood up slowly, her face was not ugly because of the humiliation of Sister Yan and Mu Zhao, she even saluted Mu Zhao: "Jinyu has a concubine sister who has been married, and there is a concubine sister to be married, and the eleventh prince said that they are not good." ”
In a word, everyone present choked.
I really didn't expect that Yuan Jinyu, who was soft and weak just now and was sarcastically ridiculed by Mu Zhao, would have such a bold side! Doesn't her say that the person in Mu Zhao's mouth is her sister and not her!
What an arrogant concubine!
King Ning was originally worried, where is Yuan Jinyu's status after all, how to compete with the same prince?
But now, she actually said such a thing! Although I am a little arrogant, I really appreciate it!
This is what she was supposed to be, the girl who cried at every turn was just a lie, and now she was neither humble nor arrogant, which made King Ning feel pleasing to the eye, in a good mood, and drank a few more glasses of wine.
Yuan Jinyu was still smiling, but that smile was really dazzling in Mu Zhao's eyes.
What else can he say? Could it be that he pointed at Yuan Jinyu's nose and scolded, what he just said was not someone else, it was you?
Cui's and Jiang's are both watching here, no matter how unlikable Yuan Jinyu is, it is also the young lady of the Xiangfu, how is it in the mansion, others can't care, but outside, if you slap Yuan Jinyu's face like this, where will the face of the Xiangfu go?
So Mu Zhao could only swallow this sullen breath, and sat on the seat with his head down, his face was pale, and he didn't make a sound.
Yuan Jinyu looked at Yuan Xiuyu, Yuan Xiuyu was naturally angry, but it was hard to say anything, after all, she had just defended this sister.
"Does my sister really want my sister to perform before you?"
